Is it OK to buy one rat?

Excuse me, I couldn't help but overhear your question about purchasing a rat. I'm curious, are you considering this as a pet or for some other purpose? While owning a pet rat can be a rewarding experience for many people, it's important to consider the long-term commitment and care required. Are you aware of the specific needs of rats, such as their diet, exercise requirements, and socialization needs? Additionally, have you researched the potential health risks and how to properly care for a rat in a SAFE and healthy environment? It's always best to thoroughly research and prepare before making such a decision.
